West Haven-Sylvan is an unincorporated community located in the Tualatin Mountains in Multnomah County, Oregon, near the city of Portland. It's known for its picturesque setting, suburban atmosphere, and proximity to natural areas.

The history of West Haven-Sylvan is closely tied to the broader history of the Portland metropolitan area. The Tualatin Mountains, often referred to as the West Hills, have been inhabited by Native American peoples for thousands of years before European settlement. These hills were used for hunting, gathering, and ceremonial purposes by various indigenous tribes.

With the arrival of European settlers in the mid-1800s, the region began to change. The growth of Portland as a city led to increased development and urbanization in the surrounding areas. By the 20th century, West Haven-Sylvan had evolved into a suburban community characterized by single-family homes, schools, and local businesses.
